| Description | N-Nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) is a nitrosamine and is known to be a potent carcinogen associated with cancer development in animals and humans. NPYR can damage DNA and cause mutations in genes that control cell growth and division. It reacts with DNA in vitro to form genotoxic activity, which may lead to cell death or mutagenesis. NPYR is formed in various industrial processes, including the synthesis of certain chemicals where it is used as an organic solvent, pharmaceutical intermediate, and plasticizer. Functions as an analytical reagent for environmental monitoring. This compound can be used as analytical reference material. NPYR could be used as a tumor initiator, as a reagent for preparing carcinogenic animal diseases model. NPYR has also neurological effects, inhibiting NMDA receptors. |
